The argument

Commission is the biggest cost most operators never negotiate

The big booking marketplaces are very good at what they do. They bring you customers you would never have found, and for a new operator that is worth paying for.

What they charge for it is the problem. Supplier commission on the major platforms is typically somewhere around 20 to 30 per cent of the booking. On £50,000 of sales a year, that is a five figure sum leaving your business, every year, forever.

The maths is what makes this easy. If you shift even part of that demand onto your own website, a £2,495 or £3,995 site pays for itself in months and then keeps paying. You also get something the marketplaces never give you: the customer email address, so you can sell to them again directly.

FAQ

Questions about direct booking

Cost, what is included, and what happens if you want to leave.

Direct Booking is £2,495 for up to 10 pages with your booking engine integrated. Booking Growth is £3,995 and is the one most operators should take, because it adds the search structure and marketing that actually shifts demand away from the marketplaces. Tourism Pro starts at £5,995. All prices exclude VAT.
No, and you probably should not. They bring genuine incremental customers, especially international ones you would never reach. The goal is to change the mix, so that the customers who were always going to find you book directly instead of costing you commission.
Usually not. We integrate with what you already use, including Bokun, FareHarbor, Rezdy, Checkfront, Bookeo and Freetobook. Your availability and reservations stay where they are. If you genuinely need a custom booking platform, that is a separate conversation starting from £10,000.
It depends on your volume, but the maths is straightforward. Work out what you sell through marketplaces in a year and take 20 to 30 per cent of it. That is your annual commission. Then ask what share of those customers would have booked with you directly if it had been easy. For most operators the answer covers the build cost quickly.
Yes. This is the sector we came from. We have built booking engines, availability logic, deposits, extras, channel connections and supplier systems for real operators. That is why we can talk about capacity, weather cancellations and changeover days rather than just page design.
All covered. Simple setups fit in Direct Booking or Booking Growth. Accommodation, packages, ticketing, large inventories and channel managers sit in Tourism Pro from £5,995, and anything genuinely bespoke is quoted separately.
Yes. Booking Growth includes Google Ads landing pages, and ongoing campaign management is £449 a month. Your ad spend goes straight to Google and is never marked up by us.
Direct Booking at £2,495 is built for exactly that. Ten pages is plenty for a single strong experience, and you can always grow into the bigger package once the direct bookings start coming in.
